At work again!!

Location: Banff, AB, Canada
About five day after I arrived in Banff I started working at the Banff gondola.
it is a lift to get tourists on top of sulfur mountain, one of the mountain surrounding Banff.
the lift run all year long but only for sightseeing, there is now ski slopes from there.
I started working as lift Operator, and I ask to do also some cleaning around the upper terminal to have a bit more variety in my job.

I really like my job and my workmates.  and working with such an amazing view all the time is just awesome.



And when the weather condition play around the view can be even better.

Living in Banff

Location: Banff, AB, Canada
I haven't post anything in way too long time, so it’s time for some update !!
At the end of June I arrived in Banff and I found a job very fast, so i decided to stay there and enjoy the summer!!

Banff is small town inside Banff national park it is really nice place to live really in the middle of the nature. I had many time an Elk or a Dear just in front of my apartment, or some Bear walking around my workplace. it is surrounded by mountains so obviously I love it here!!

the town of Banff and the national park was all developed because of a hot spring found on sulfur mountain by the people building the train track across Canada to reach Vancouver. the builder discover the hot springs and it quickly became popular and there for Canada decided to create a national park and build the town of Banff here.


I spent about 6 month here spending my time between work and hiking all around the national park. which was really awesome!

"The eternal traveler syndrome"

Location: Banff, AB, Canada
It’s been long time since I didn't give you any news, I'll post updates soon!!

But today I just want to share a video I found on internet.

A lot of people make video or blog post about traveling, and most of it feels like people started traveling two month ago and think they know everything about travel. All these video and blogs have many interesting fact, but also some that are disconnected from the reality of a very long trip. And most of them miss the very essence of traveling. but there is always some articles and some video that catch it very well and this video is one of them, it catch the deepest meaning of travel and present it in a very good way. 
It represent very well the way I feel since I came back in Montreal and explain why I left again.

The video is in Spanish with English subtitle, for those who speak only French, here is a translation of the text in French
